Brose Baskets was a little-known club for Moscow fans. But after the memorable games last season the team should take the opponents serious in Megasport on Thursday.
"I have maximum respect towards Coach Chris Fleming and his program", - CSKA head coach Ettore Messina said. "Though they started the season not so well we know that they play with great organization and mentality. We are working on our game and I think we improved. It is important for us to show the good level of basketball after two difficult games we had to start the Euroleague. Drew Nicholas had an encouraging practice with the team on Tuesday after ankle injury. We will evaluate his reaction after the practice on Wednesday and if he will feel himself as well, he will definitely play."
Evgeny Voronov (hip) and Zoran Erceg (Achilles tendon) will miss the game.
